I wish Tamiya offered new 1/32 Corsair variants.

@@JuanAdam12 I don’t think it would take much for them to do a -5

I think I probably could too. Amazing kit

I wish tamiya 1/32 dont cost thousand of money

you get what you pay for - i was lucky enough to get this kit as a gift - i was floored when i found out how much it cost/.

You haven't seen Plasmo have you? He can do things with a snap together kit that most modelers could never do.

You are right! You should see how precise the engine compartments fit together and then fitting the several exhaust and intake manifolds together; then connecting the various engine segment together is remarkable. From the rear firewall to the cowl flaps to the twin row R-2800 radial to the engine cowl inspection hatches to the front cowl, they all line up perfectly and slide into place without a wobble. These components built in sections, come together perfectly. It is amazing. And this plane is built with the ability to easily display or enclose the engine. The engine cowl inspection hatches fit snuggly without clue and one can remove these cowl hatches depending on their mood or the phases of the Moon. I fitted the engine with home-made spark plugs and ignition wires. It was a little work, but worth it. Also I bought the 3D cockpit instrument panel decals. This cockpit is hyper detailed in the out-of-the-box configuration. With the 3D decal kit, it is almost an exact replica of a full size Corsair. It is hyper-correct. I build my aircraft with figures in the cockpit and in this case, used the figure that came with the kit. He turned out nice and when I finally assembled the two major cockpit components, the control stick fit right into the pilots hands perfectly and his feet were on the rudder pedals in perfect position. This occurred without me ever thinking about it while I slid the rear cockpit assembly into the front cockpit assembly. It was perfect and just amazing the pilot was grabbing the stick perfectly and his feet were setting on the pedals just as one would expect. After fighting a previous build of a Trumpeter 1/32 Corsair, this build is an endorphin filled adventure when fitting parts together and joining separate major component sections. I could kiss the Tamiya designers, whereas I wanted to toss the Trumpeter model and kick the Trumpeter designers in the ass.

+1 Another Black Sheep TV fan. I only watched it for the F-4U's.

I can remember watching that show as a young boy with my my dad, truly fond memories.
